09 Stumpy fsr elite vs. 2010 stumpy fsr elite

HI, I'm deciding over which year to buy. I found the 2009 specialized stumpjumper fsr elite used for $1250 and I got a deal with at the LBS, I got a deal for $2,000 for the 2010 stumpjumper fsr elite. Which one is a better deal?

I had an 09 SJ and demo'd a 2010 back to back. I think the new shock linkage design is an improvement. The bike pedals more firmly on hard efforts while still being just as active on smaller chatter. Decided to pick up a year end deal on a 2010 SJ 29er myself.

That's a pretty big price difference, but if you can swing the 2010, then go for it.

I'm curious did you buy the 2009? I think I was looking at the same bike and was emailing the seller here in the East Bay. He said I could see it but then he stopped replying............................
